Despot 78,
On 24 Jan 1980 you took me along for an engine air test in "Grumpy Monkey" Mirage A3-116. That remains the most exciting hour of my life. We flew through the speed of sound high level and then a bit of low level hooning around Bulahdelah and Myall Lakes. Fantastic!!! My Machbuster Certificate is hanging on my office wall.
A3-116's fin still exists at the Air Cadets HQ at Coffs Harbour airport. Whenever I travel through there I pay it a visit.
Cheers, Despot 20. (Us RadTechs used our tooltag numbers when doing radio checks.)
